Manager Micky Adams leaves Tranmere

Manager Micky Adams has left Tranmere by mutual consent with just two games of the season left.

Rovers suffered a fourth consecutive defeat on Saturday, leaving them bottom of League Two and two points adrift of safety.

Adams failed to show for his post-match press conference after the 3-0 loss to Oxford while supporters demonstrated outside the ground, calling for the manager to leave.

Those fans got their wish on Sunday, with the club confirming the news in a statement on their official website.

It read: "We thank Micky for his work at Tranmere Rovers having taken over the club at a difficult time and wish him all the best for the future.

"The focus of the first team and everybody at the club is now on the fight to the finish with a game at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday 25th April when three points could lift them above both Hartlepool United and Cheltenham Town."

Former Leicester manager Adams joined Tranmere in October with Rovers sitting bottom of the table after 12 games, and lost just two of his first 13 games at the helm.

But Adams has overseen just two wins in 17 games since the end of January, with the side suffering a run of four matches without even scoring.

Assistant manager Alan Rogers and academy manager Shaun Garnett will take temporary charge of first-team affairs.

Tranmere have not been outside the Football League since joining in 1921.
